If you are aware of this bias and actively challenge it, you can look at possible changes more objectively and make better decisions. By doing this, you can give yourself the confidence to try new things and make positive changes in your personal and professional lives. Please leave this field emptyOh hi there Never miss a post.

What remains of you when all of that has been taken away? This is a journal writing exercise. Grab a coffee or tea and spend some time reflecting on the question. See what comes up.

Can you work out what words I used to generate the image? What symbols are at play? What is your emotional response to the image? What message are you receiving?
